Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery disassembly and assembly, and in particular to a press-type battery disassembly and assembly mechanism and electronic product. Background Technology

[0002] Many electronic products now feature removable battery modules to facilitate replacement after the battery is depleted, extending battery life for outdoor use and meeting user requirements. The current method for removing battery modules typically involves manually prying aside the elastically retractable retaining blocks that hold the battery module in place, then removing the module from the battery compartment. This design has two drawbacks: firstly, the horizontally positioned retaining blocks occupy space in the battery compartment, failing to meet the needs of some electronic products requiring a compact layout; secondly, the exposed retaining blocks negatively impact the product's appearance, making its overall design less streamlined. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a press-type battery disassembly and assembly mechanism and an electronic product, which mainly solves the problem of making the battery module easy to disassemble and assemble while also making the electronic product's structure compact and improving its appearance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A press-type battery mounting and dismounting mechanism includes a battery module, a fixing base, and a press-type latch and a spring post respectively fixed relative to the fixing base;

[0006] The battery module is provided with a slot, and the push-button latch includes a latch. When pressed, the push-button latch has an extended state where the latch extends outward or a retracted state where the latch retracts inward. Assuming the battery module is inserted along a first direction, the battery module moves along the first direction and presses the push-button latch, forcing the latch to extend outward and engage in the slot or retract inward and disengage from the slot. When the latch engages in the slot, the elastic post elastically abuts against the outer wall of the battery module in the opposite direction of the first direction, causing the battery module to abut against the latch in the opposite direction of the first direction due to the elastic force of the elastic post.

[0007] In one of the technical solutions, the push-button latch and the elastic post are both fixed on the fixing base. The battery module has a protrusion at its end along the first direction, and the outer wall of the protrusion has the slot. When the latch is engaged in the slot, the elastic post elastically abuts against the outer wall of the protrusion in the opposite direction of the first direction, so that the protrusion abuts against the latch in the opposite direction of the first direction due to the elastic force of the elastic post.

[0008] In one technical solution, the push-button latch includes a fixing member, a telescopic member, and a latch tongue. The fixing member is fixed to the fixing base. The telescopic member faces the battery module and can move in a straight line in the first direction. The end face of the battery module along the first direction is a pressing end face. The pressing end face pushes the telescopic member to move along the first direction, causing the latch tongue to extend and engage in the slot or retract inward and disengage from the slot. The pressing end face is provided with the protrusion.

[0009] In one of the technical solutions, the elastic column includes a fixed block, an elastic column, and a spring disposed between the fixed block and the elastic column. The elastic column is extended in the opposite direction to the first direction relative to the fixed block by the elastic force of the spring.

[0010] In one of the technical solutions, the fixing base is provided with a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove arranged adjacent to each other, the fixing member is fixed in the first receiving groove, and the fixing block is fixed in the second receiving groove.

[0011] In one of the technical solutions, the press-type battery removal and installation mechanism includes two press-type latches, which are arranged opposite to each other and fixed on the fixing base, and the elastic column is arranged between the two press-type latches.

[0012] In one of the technical solutions, the dimension of the slot along the first direction is greater than the thickness of the latch along the first direction.

[0013] This application also provides an electronic product, including a product body and the aforementioned press-type battery disassembly and assembly mechanism. The product body has a battery compartment, the fixing base is fixed in the battery compartment, the battery module is inserted into the battery compartment along the first direction, and when the battery module is inserted to a preset depth in the battery compartment, the locking tongue engages in the slot and the battery module is electrically connected to the product body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the push-to-release battery mechanism provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This solution utilizes an existing push-button latch. When inserting the battery module, the battery module is inserted into the main body of the electronic product along a first direction. Then, the battery module presses against the push-button latch along the first direction, causing the latch's tongue to automatically extend and engage with the battery module's slot. Simultaneously, a spring post applies elastic force to the battery module in the opposite direction of the first direction, causing the battery module to abut against the latch in the opposite direction. By setting a spring post that elastically abuts against the battery module, it prevents assembly gaps between the battery module and the main body after insertion, thus preventing the battery module from wobbling within the electronic product. When battery replacement is needed... When installing the battery module, simply press it along the first direction to apply pressure to the push-button latch. This causes the latch tongue to retract automatically and disengage from the slot on the battery module. Since the battery module is now deeper along the first direction, the elastic force of the spring post on the battery module increases during the pressing process. When the battery module is released, it will be ejected outward in the opposite direction of the first direction by the elastic force of the spring post, making it easier for the user to remove. Thus, the spring post not only eliminates assembly gaps in the battery module but also drives the battery module to eject outward.

[0016] In summary, this solution offers advantages such as simple structure and convenient battery module assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the push-button latches and spring-loaded posts can be arranged inside the battery compartment instead of being horizontally positioned on one side of the battery compartment as in existing elastic limit blocks. Therefore, electronic products using this solution have the advantage of a more compact and rational structure, especially meeting the installation requirements of some small-sized electronic products with many functional components. In addition, the push-button latches and spring-loaded posts built into the battery compartment are not exposed on the outer surface of the electronic product, thus facilitating battery module assembly and disassembly while contributing to a simpler and more elegant appearance for the electronic product.

[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] It should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a press-type battery mounting and dismounting mechanism, including a battery module 1, a fixing base 2, a press-type latch 3, and a spring post 4. The battery module 1 is provided with a slot 11. The press-type latch 3 and the spring post 4 are directly or indirectly fixed to the fixing base 2. The press-type latch 3 is prior art. When the press-type latch 3 is subjected to pressure, it has an extended state in which the latch 33 extends outward or a retracted state in which the latch 33 retracts inward. The spring post 4 specifically includes a fixing block 41, a spring post 42, and a spring (not shown in the figure) disposed between the fixing block 41 and the spring post 42. The spring post 42 is subjected to the elastic force of the spring and extends outward relative to the fixing block 41 in the opposite direction of the first direction X.

[0033] Specifically, this solution uses the existing push-button latch 3, assuming the battery module 1 moves along the first direction X as follows: Figure 7The battery module 1 is inserted into the battery compartment 511 of the product body 51. Then, the battery module 1 presses the push-button latch 3 along the first direction X, causing the latch 33 on the push-button latch 3 to automatically extend and engage with the slot 11 of the battery module 1. At the same time, the spring post 42 on the spring post 4 applies a spring force to the battery module 1 along the opposite direction of the first direction X, so that the battery module 1 abuts against the latch 33 along the opposite direction of the first direction X. By setting the spring post 4 that elastically abuts against the battery module 1, the phenomenon of the battery module 1 shaking inside the electronic product due to the assembly gap between the battery module 1 and the product body 51 after the battery module 1 is installed can be prevented. When it is necessary to replace the battery module 1, simply press the latch 33 along the first direction X. When the battery module 1 is pressed, it applies pressure to the push-button latch 3 along the first direction X, causing the latch 33 on the push-button latch 3 to automatically retract and disengage from the slot 11 on the battery module 1. Since the battery module 1 is now deeper along the first direction X, the elastic force of the spring post 42 on the spring post 4 on the battery module 1 will also increase during the pressing process. When the battery module 1 is released, it will be ejected outward along the opposite direction of the first direction X by the elastic force of the spring post 4, so that the user can remove the battery module 1. It can be seen that the spring post 4 not only eliminates the assembly gap of the battery module 1, but also drives the battery module 1 to eject outward.

[0034] In summary, the push-button battery mounting and dismounting mechanism of this solution has the advantages of simple structure and convenient assembly and disassembly of battery module 1. Moreover, the push-button latch 3 and the spring post 4 can be arranged inside the battery compartment 511 of the main body 51 of the product, instead of being arranged laterally on one side of the battery compartment 511 as in the existing elastic limit block. Therefore, the electronic product adopting this solution has the advantage of a more compact and reasonable structure, especially in meeting the installation requirements of some electronic products that are small in size but have many functional components. In addition, the push-button latch 3 and the spring post 4 built into the battery compartment 511 of this solution will not be exposed on the outer surface of the electronic product. Therefore, while achieving convenient assembly and disassembly of battery module 1, it is conducive to making the appearance of the electronic product more concise and elegant.

[0035] Please refer to them again. Figures 1 to 6 The push-button latch 3 and the spring post 4 are preferably directly fixed to the fixing base 2. The battery module 1 has a protrusion 12 at its end along the first direction X. The outer wall of the protrusion 12 has the aforementioned slot 11. With this design, when the latch 33 on the push-button latch 3 is engaged into the slot 11 of the battery module 1, the spring post 4 actually elastically abuts against the outer wall of the protrusion 12 along the opposite direction of the first direction X. Furthermore, the protrusion 12, due to the elastic force of the spring post 4, abuts against the latch 33 along the opposite direction of the first direction X. With this design, the assembly and disassembly of the battery module 1 can be effectively realized.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 6 The push-button latch 3 specifically includes a fixing member 31, a telescopic member 32, and the aforementioned latch 33. The fixing member 31 is fixed to the fixing base 2. The telescopic member 32 faces the battery module 1 and can move relative to the fixing member 31 in a straight line along the first direction X. The end face of the battery module 1 along the first direction X is a pressing end face 13, on which the aforementioned protrusion 12 is provided. During the insertion of the battery module 1, the battery module 1 actually pushes the telescopic member 32 to move along the first direction X through the pressing end face 13, thereby causing the telescopic member 32 to extend outward or retract inward as it moves along the first direction.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 6 The mounting base 2 is provided with a first receiving groove 21 and a second receiving groove 22 arranged adjacent to each other. The aforementioned fixing member 31 is fixed in the first receiving groove 21, and the aforementioned fixing block 41 is fixed in the second receiving groove 22, so that the push-button latch 3 and the spring post 4 are both accommodated in the mounting base 2, thereby further improving the compactness of the structure and reducing the space occupied by the spring post 4 and the push-button latch 3. In addition, preferably, the push-button battery disassembly and assembly mechanism of this solution includes two push-button latches 3, which are arranged opposite to each other and fixed on the mounting base 2, and the aforementioned spring post 4 is arranged between the two push-button latches 3. By having the two push-button latches 3 simultaneously snap into the slot 11 of the battery module 1, the stability of the battery module 1 after it is installed in place can be improved.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 In fact, the dimension M of the slot 11 along the first direction X is greater than the thickness N of the latch 33 along the first direction X. This allows the battery module 1 to continue pushing the push-type latch 3 along the first direction X when the latch 33 is engaged in the slot 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the slot 11 under the elastic force of the elastic column 4. This ensures that when the battery module 1 presses against the push-type latch 3 again, the latch 33 has enough space to retract inward to disengage from the slot 11.

[0039] This embodiment also provides an electronic product, preferably a barcode scanner. The electronic product includes a product body 51 and the aforementioned press-type battery disassembly and assembly mechanism. The product body 51 has a battery compartment 511 inside, and the aforementioned fixing seat 2 is fixed inside the battery compartment 511. The battery module 1 is inserted into the battery compartment 511 along the first direction X. When the battery module 1 is inserted to a preset depth in the battery compartment 511, the locking tongue 33 on the press-type latch 3 will engage with the slot 11 of the battery module 1 to restrict the position of the battery module 1. At this time, the battery module 1 will be electrically connected to the product body 51 to provide the required power to the product body 51.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
